Placing on family page.
I would agree with Ron's ID, but Chen Young is our resident expert. I think he will find it easier to access this image on the family page, so placing there now.

Thanks, Ron!
Thanks for your expert assistance. We had not looked through Nephrotoma ferruginea. It seems to be a good match.

Not an expert...
by any means of the words but thanks :)

It is a hobby of mine and I really enjoy seeing all these different insect and learning about them.

This site is full of experts that have actually earned the title of expert. I would suggest leaving the image in ID Request for a while longer to get their opinion on this.

Thanks again for the kind words :)
